GARCIA-LLANA, H. et al. Impact of an interdisciplinary training program in Counselling and decision-making process in a nephrology department. Nefrología (Madr.) [online]. 2011, vol.31, n.3, pp.322-330. ISSN 1989-2284.

A 12-hour training program was delivered to the professionals of a nephrology department. Contents of the course were about difficult communication skills in health care interactions. Counselling was the relational methodology instructed. The objective was to assess changes in attitudes in relation with bioethics principles and knowledge. Variables were measured before and after the training program. Sample was composed by 76 professionals (57% nurses, 26% auxiliary nurses y 17% nephrologists) for knowledge and 27 professionals for variable attitudes. Considering the total sample, results show changes in implication with bioethics principles (p <0.05) and knowledge (p <0.001). There are differences related to the kind of profession. Nurses benefit more from the training program attending in the variable knowledge (p <0.001).
